Subtract zero and all
Key notes:-
β Subtracting Zero (0)
- When we subtract 0, the number stays the same.
- π Because we are not taking anything away.
- β¨ Example:
- 5 β 0 = 5
- 9 β 0 = 9
- 3 β 0 = 3
πβ¨ Easy Reminder:
βZero means nothingβ¦ so nothing changes!β
β Subtracting All
When we subtract all, we take everything away.
The answer becomes 0.
β¨ Example:
- 6 β 6 = 0
- 4 β 4 = 0
- 2 β 2 = 0
π― Reminder:
βTake allβ¦ nothing is left!β
